Hi, so my problem is that I have two video cards in this laptop: 1 integrated and 1 dedicated ATI.
Integrated: Intel hd
Dedicated: AMD Radeon HD 6490Q
*Drivers are up to date
Dolphin only reads the Intel one, and I'd like to use the AMD one because obviously, it's better.
*KEEP IN MIND THIS IS A LAPTOP, therefore the AMD card is a "discrete" graphics card that only activates whenever extra graphics power is needed
This is what happens with Dolphin: http://i40.tinypic.com/qz14dk.png

Well, I think it doesn't because on my desktop (AMD quad core + integrated intel graphics)
I get the same speed I'm getting in this laptop (sonic adventure 2 battle) which is like 60fps, but at some (specific) scenes it drops to 55-50 FPS for several seconds, which shouldn't be happening if my system was really using that dedicated AMD card D:...

You can't determine that yourself. Post all the Dolphin settings you're using.

with the internal resolution set to minimum, and no antialiasing or other enhancements it is unlikely that the GPU will be the thing bringing it from 60 to 50 FPS unless you have a really fast processor, which you don't. It may still be using the AMD GPU.

OS: Windows 10 64 bit Professional
CPU: Intel i5 4670K @3.4GHz... for now @4.6GHz with a quick and dirty (yet stable) OC. May get faster in a bit before the end of time.
RAM: 16GB (Down from 24 GB after some was given to siblings)
GPU: Radeon Vega 56
